The Royal Australian Mint is proud to announce the release of this beautiful 2026 50c uncirculated coin in Australia to mark the centenary of the birth of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Elizabeth's story is interwoven with Australia's own. Her historic visit in 1954 captured the nation's imagination, while her effigy appearing on our decimal coins from 1966 became a daily reminder of her enduring presence. Yet it was the Queen's many passions that revealed the woman behind the Crown. Her wartime service with the Auxiliary Territorial Service reflected a sense of duty instilled from youth, that she carried throughout her reign. Equally, her support for the arts nurtured creativity and cultural expression across the Commonwealth for seven decades. The Queen's love of horses and corgis is well known, while family remained her greatest treasure as a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. All these facets of an extraordinary life have been stunningly captured in this new commemorative coin.

The coin's reverse features a beautiful new portrait of the Queen by designer A. Stokic, framed with symbols of her life, passions and reign. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III sculpted by Daniel Thorne.

Struck to the Royal Australian Mint's uncirculated finish standard, this coin is presented in a colourful card packaging. With a maximum mintage of 40,000, this release offers an accessible tribute to a remarkable monarch.
